Using Excel and Word 2002, Excel cells formatted in currency with 2 decimal
places merge into Word displaying 14 decimal places. How can I truncate the
14 to 2?

Use a formatting switch on the field -

An alternative is to change the behaviour in Excel for the SS you are using.
By Default, Excel only displays the number of decimal place you set (2 by
default): however, underneath it keeps all decimal places for accuracy.
Under Tools, Options, Calculation tab, you can check the Precision as
Displayed option. This will export as seen. However, if this is a complex
SS, checking this option may produce inaccurate results.
